Watch sizing moonwatch

Eat red meat and pick up some dumbbells broham. I’ve seen ladies wear moonwatches.

Ha that's the plan post injury. More of a squat rack man myself but I'll do some wrist curls if necessary 😗

Ah.. PT recovery sucks.. gl.

Ps. Don’t know who Omega was targeting with the 38 but it looks pretty off from the moonwatch. The “Reduced” model looks so much closer. I doubt you’d recover your cost if you were to sell if you felt regrets.

I remember watching a YouTube video saying that Omega was targeting the Speedmaster 38 range at women but the presenter said it was ridiculous saying a 38mm size watch is only for women because lots of men could wear that size too.

This is a very interesting thread, it must be so difficult for brands to get that sizing right enough so that it covers most of their target audience

I think it wears a bit smaller than the 42mm.

I agree. There's just such a huge range of wrist sizes and shapes.
Personally, I think Omega got it pretty spot on years ago with the original blue Bond Seamaster Pro, which they produced in both 36mm and 41mm case sizes. Sadly, they don't make a midsize SMP anymore. Although the 36mm fit me welll, 38mm would have been my sweet spot.

Speedmaster wear like 39mm watch and it was 39mm until Omega decided to measure case size on 2-8 axis.

I think I’ve misunderstood? So the watch diameter used to be smaller, or did they just changed the way they measured it?

the watch is the same, Omega just changed way they measure diameter. that was a shock in early '00 when online communities found out, because of anything above 38mm was big, but above 40mm was considered HUGE 😀

The Pro looks great on you. You should not hesitate to go for it if you like it better 👍

I have also a 6.25" wrist. I have a reduced instead of a Pro but I had the occasion to try a Pro and a FOIS, while wearing my reduced. So I could compare them. Obviously, the Reduced wears smaller. But there was no real difference between the FOIS (40mm) and the Pro (42mm) and I was surprised by how nice it wears. I actually liked the Pro better than the FOIS. I cannot explain why but the FOIS "only" felt like a big Reduced, which is weird because the Reduced design is closest to the Pro..

The lug to lug length of the Pro is around 47mm. It is less than many 40 or 39mm watches

Might it be possible that you preferred the Speedy Pro over the FOIS because the Pro is thinner? I've read a few posts of people saying they couldn't get comfortable with the thickness of the FOIS.
